"When we die can we ever truly say that we lived?" It’s very difficult to say anything when you’re dead. But as the living know lots about people who are dead and how they lived, then that would seem to answer your question. | |||

"When we die can we ever truly say that we lived?" You have to live before you die, so if your last words are that, then yes. | |||

"When we die can we ever truly say that we lived?" We don't need to wait until our live draws to an end to know if we've truly lived. If we've learned to accept and appreciate what life has brought us, explored the world around us with curiosity and wonder, and made the most of every moment, then we can say we've truly lived, every step of the way. Perhaps it's only in reflection and accessing our life so far, that we can truly assess whether we feel alive, and whether our experiences, relationships, and choices align with our values and aspirations. Ultimately, it's a personal evaluation that will vary from person to person. | |||

"Death is not an end. It is rather a transition or a transformation into something else. Death is similar to the intense, pleasurable experience of an orgasm leading to a different state where there is no death, no past, no future but only the present eternity. " I wouldn’t call being ripped apart and eaten alive by sharks whilst being stung in the eye ball by a hornet similar to an orgasm. I had a dream, you see, which is why, like Chief Brody, I don’t go into the water. | |||

" La petite mort is an expression that refers to a brief loss or weakening of consciousness, and in modern usage refers specifically to a post-orgasm sensation as likened to death. The first attested use of the expression in English was in 1572. | |||

"When we die can we ever truly say that we lived?" But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs. George Eliot, Middlemarch | |||

"Lessons from English Literature: 1. In her poem "When Death Comes" Mary Oliver stresses the importance of living with purpose and authenticity. She doesn't want to simply have "visited" the world, but to have engaged with it, made choices, and left a mark. 2. In Shakespeare Hamlet's famous soliloquy, "To be or not to be," delves into the unknown of death. The phrase "what dreams may come" suggests that even in death, there might be continued experience, raising questions about the nature of consciousness and the afterlife, the potential for continued existence, even in a form we cannot currently comprehend. 3. Other authors and thinkers, including Marcus Aurelius, who emphasizes the value of a meaningful life over a long one. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross suggests that we should live each day as if it were our last. I think true living should involve appreciating each moment and making the most of our time. " You love a but of AI don't ya...  | |||

"Some never truly lived because they spent their lives fighting and bitching against others. A life wasted." Very true and so often illustrated in this very Forum by those who are totally blinded of such! "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why." Mark Twain. | |||
